Further Interpretation of “Fiscal Impact Statement” in the Legislative Procedures Act
WHEREAS,
the Oneida Nation is a federally recognized Indian government and a treaty tribe
recognized by the laws of the United States of America; and
WHEREAS,
the Oneida General Tribal Council is the governing body of the Oneida Nation; and
WHEREAS,
the Oneida Business Committee has been delegated the authority of Article IV, Section 1,
of the Oneida Tribal Constitution by the Oneida General Tribal Council; and
WHEREAS,
the Legislative Procedures Act was adopted by the General Tribal Council through
resolution GTC-01-07-13-A for the purpose of ensuring there is a standard process for the
development of legislation for the Nation; and
WHEREAS,
the Legislative Procedures Act delegates authority to the Legislative Operating Committee
for the development of legislation of the Nation; and
WHEREAS,
the Legislative Operating Committee has created procedural mechanisms to implement
the Legislative Procedures Act which focus on generating public and organizational input
and transparency assisted by new technologies; and
WHEREAS,
section 109.6-1 of the Legislative Procedures Act requires the development of a Fiscal
Impact Statement which is an estimate of the total fiscal year financial effects associated
with legislation and includes startup costs, personnel, office, documentation costs, as well
as an estimate of the amount of time necessary for an individual or agency to comply with
the law after implementation; and
WHEREAS,
a Fiscal Impact Statement is required prior to legislation being forwarded to the Oneida
Business Committee for consideration; and
WHEREAS,
the Legislative Procedures Act provides that the Legislative Operating Committee may
direct any affected agency who may receive funding if the legislation is enacted, may
administer a program if legislation is enacted, may have financial information concerning
the subject matter of the legislation, or the Finance Department to submit the Fiscal Impact
Statement; and
WHEREAS,
although not required for a public meeting, the Legislative Operating Committee has
determined that having a Fiscal Impact Statement for the public meeting is important in
providing transparency and understanding the full impact of a proposed law while at the
same time recognizing the limited resources and time available from the Finance
Department to develop multiple Fiscal Impact Statements; and
WHEREAS,
the Legislative Operating Committee had determined that Fiscal Impact Statements from
affected agencies and affected individuals will be informative during the legislative
development processes and public meeting discussion; and

BC Resolution _____________
Further Interpretation of “Fiscal Impact Statement” in the Legislative Procedures Act
Page 2 of 3
WHEREAS,
the Legislative Operating Committee identified that the provisions of the Legislative
Procedures Act regarding the Fiscal Impact Statement required clarification as to which
entity would be directed to complete a Fiscal Impact Statement at which stage of the
legislative process, but that this issue did not rise to the level of requiring amendments to
the law; and
WHEREAS,
in order to provide clarification as to how Fiscal Impact Statements in the Legislative
Procedures Act would be interpreted, the Oneida Business Committee adopted resolution
BC-09-25-19-A titled, “Interpreting ‘Fiscal Impact Statement’ in the Legislative Procedures
Act” which provided the following: “the Fiscal Impact Statement required in section 109.61 of the Legislative Procedures Act shall be applied as follows.
1. Fiscal Impact Statements for use during a Public Meeting. When developing a
Fiscal Impact Statement for proposed legislation to be used in a public meeting
scheduled under section 109.8-2, the Legislative Operating Committee may use
any agency who:
a. may receive funding if the legislation is enacted;
b. may administer a program if the legislation is enacted; or
c. may have financial information concerning the subject matter of the
legislation.
2. Fiscal Impact Statements for use during Consideration of Adoption. When
developing a Fiscal Impact Statement for proposed legislation to be used for
presentation to and consideration of adoption by the Oneida Business Committee
and/or General Tribal Council under section 109.9-1, the Finance Department
shall, within ten (10) business days of final approval of draft legislation by the
Legislative Operating Committee, send a Fiscal Impact Statement to the
Legislative Operating Committee for inclusion in adoption materials.
WHEREAS,
the Legislative Operating Committee determined that it is impracticable to limit the
development of Fiscal Impact Statements for use during consideration of adoption to solely
the Finance Department when the Legislative Procedures Act affords more flexibility; and
WHEREAS,
the Legislative Operating Committee, for purposes of standardizing the interpretation of the
Legislative Procedures Act and managing the agenda of the Oneida Business Committee,
requests adoption of this updated interpretive resolution; and
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, that this resolution supersedes resolution BC-09-25-19-A titled,
“Interpreting ‘Fiscal Impact Statement’ in the Legislative Procedures Act” and provides that the Financial
Impact Statement required in section 109.6-1 of the Legislative Procedures Act shall be applied as follows:
1. Fiscal Impact Statements for use during a Public Meeting. When developing a Fiscal Impact
Statement for proposed legislation to be used during a public meeting and public comment period
scheduled under section 109.8:
a. The Legislative Operating Committee may direct that a Fiscal Impact Statement be
completed by any agency who:
i. may receive funding if the legislation is enacted;
ii. may administer a program if the legislation is enacted; or
iii. may have financial information concerning the subject matter of the legislation.
b. Upon approval of draft legislation for a public meeting, the Legislative Operating Committee
may direct an agency to provide a neutral and unbiased Fiscal Impact Statement to the
Legislative Operating Committee within ten (10) business days for inclusion in public
meeting materials.
i. If an agency cannot complete the Fiscal Impact Statement within the ten (10)
business day timeframe, the agency may request an extension of this timeframe
by the Legislative Operating Committee.

Statement of Effect
Further Interpretation of “Fiscal Impact Statement” in the Legislative Procedures Act
Summary
The resolution further interprets the Legislative Procedures Act to clarify who the Legislative
Operating Committee may direct develop a fiscal impact statement for use during a public meeting
and for use during the consideration of adoption.
Submitted by: Clorissa N. Santiago, Staff Attorney, Legislative Reference Office
Date: October 16, 2020
Analysis by the Legislative Reference Office
The Legislative Procedures Act (LPA) was adopted by the General Tribal Council through
resolution GTC-01-07-13-A for the purpose of providing a standard process for the development
and adoption of legislation of the Nation. [1 O.C. 109.1-1]. The LPA delegates authority to the
Legislative Operating Committee for the development of legislation of the Nation. [1 O.C. 109.42].
The LPA requires that all legislation, except emergency legislation, be accompanied by a fiscal
impact statement, which is an estimate of the total fiscal year financial effects associated with the
legislation. [1 O.C. 109.6-1, 109.3-1(c)]. The LPA delegates authority to the Legislative Operating
Committee to direct an agency to submit a fiscal impact statement. The Legislative Operating
Committee may direct that a fiscal impact statement be prepared by any agency who may receive
funding if the legislation is enacted, may administer a program if the legislation is enacted, or may
have financial information concerning the subject matter of the legislation; or the Finance
Department. [1 O.C. 109.6-1].
If the fiscal impact statement is available, then the LPA requires that it be posted on the Oneida
Register and electronically provided to all managers and directors of the Nation with the other
public meeting materials ten (10) business days before a public meeting is held. [1 O.C. 109.8-2].
All fiscal impact statements are required to be completed and submitted to the Legislative
Operating Committee prior to any legislation being forwarded to the Oneida Business Committee
for consideration of adoption. [1 O.C. 109.6-2]. The fiscal impact statement provides information
on what the potential adoption of the proposed legislation will cost the Nation, so that the Oneida
Business Committee and/or General Tribal Council can determine if adoption of the proposed
legislation is in the best interest of the Nation.
The Oneida Business Committee adopted resolution BC-09-25-19-A titled, “Interpreting ‘Fiscal
Impact Statement’ in the Legislative Procedures Act” as a result of the Legislative Operating
Committee seeking clarification on the interpretation of the use of fiscal impact statements within
the LPA. Resolution BC-09-25-19-A clarified and limited who the Legislative Operating
Page 1 of 3
Public Packet
27 of 172
Committee may direct to complete a fiscal impact statement for use during a public meeting and
for use during the final adoption of legislation so that the process can be standardized and handled
in a consistent manner. Resolution BC-09-25-19-A provided the following: “the Fiscal Impact
Statement required in section 109.6-1 of the Legislative Procedures Act shall be applied as follows.
1. Fiscal Impact Statements for use during a Public Meeting. When developing a Fiscal
Impact Statement for proposed legislation to be used in a public meeting scheduled under
section 109.8-2, the Legislative Operating Committee may use any agency who:
a. may receive funding if the legislation is enacted;
b. may administer a program if the legislation is enacted; or
c. may have financial information concerning the subject matter of the legislation.
2. Fiscal Impact Statements for use during Consideration of Adoption. When developing a
Fiscal Impact Statement for proposed legislation to be used for presentation to and
consideration of adoption by the Oneida Business Committee and/or General Tribal
Council under section 109.9-1, the Finance Department shall, within ten (10) business days
of final approval of draft legislation by the Legislative Operating Committee, send a Fiscal
Impact Statement to the Legislative Operating Committee for inclusion in adoption
materials.”
This resolution provides that the Legislative Operating Committee has determined that it is
impracticable to limit the development of fiscal impact statements for use during consideration of
adoption to solely the Finance Department when the Legislative Procedures Act affords more
flexibility.
This resolution would supersede resolution BC-09-25-19-A and provide that the financial impact
statement required in section 109.6-1 of the Legislative Procedures Act shall be applied as follows:
1. Fiscal Impact Statements for use during a Public Meeting. When developing a Fiscal
Impact Statement for proposed legislation to be used during a public meeting and public
comment period scheduled under section 109.8:
a. The Legislative Operating Committee may direct that a Fiscal Impact Statement
be completed by any agency who:
i. may receive funding if the legislation is enacted;
ii. may administer a program if the legislation is enacted; or
iii. may have financial information concerning the subject matter of the
legislation.
b. Upon approval of draft legislation for a public meeting, the Legislative Operating
Committee may direct an agency to provide a neutral and unbiased Fiscal Impact
Statement to the Legislative Operating Committee within ten (10) business days for
inclusion in public meeting materials.
i. If an agency cannot complete the Fiscal Impact Statement within the ten
(10) business day timeframe, the agency may request an extension of this
timeframe by the Legislative Operating Committee.
2. Fiscal Impact Statements for use during Consideration of Adoption. When developing
a fiscal impact statement for proposed legislation to be used for presentation to and
consideration of adoption by the Oneida Business Committee and/or General Tribal
Council under section 109.9-1:

a. The Legislative Operating Committee may direct that a Fiscal Impact Statement
be completed by the Finance Department or any agency who:
i. may receive funding if the legislation is enacted;
ii. may administer a program if the legislation is enacted; or
iii. may have financial information concerning the subject matter of the
legislation.
b. Upon final approval of draft legislation by the Legislative Operating Committee,
the Legislative Operating Committee may direct an agency or the Finance
Department to provide a neutral and unbiased Fiscal Impact Statement to the
Legislative Operating Committee within ten (10) business days for inclusion in
adoption materials.
i. If an agency or the Finance Department cannot complete the Fiscal Impact
Statement within the ten (10) business day timeframe, the agency may
request an extension of this timeframe by the Legislative Operating
Committee.
Conclusion
Adoption of this resolution would not conflict with any of the Nation’s laws.

Statement of Effect
Discretion Regarding the Transfer of Cases under the Children’s Code
Summary
The resolution supersedes all prior resolutions in conflict with the directives set forth in this
resolution, and provides the Nation’s Indian Child Welfare Department and Child Welfare attorney
discretion in determining when to begin new Children in Need of Protection and Services cases
occurring in Brown and Outagamie County in the Oneida Family Court or seek the transfer of the
case to the Oneida Family Court under the Children’s Code.
Submitted by: Clorissa N. Santiago, Senior Staff Attorney, Legislative Reference Office
Date: October 16, 2020
Analysis by the Legislative Reference Office
The Oneida Business Committee adopted the Children’s Code through resolution BC-07-26-17-J
titled, “Adoption of the Children’s Code and the Nation’s Indian Child Welfare Act Policy,” for
the purpose of providing for the welfare, care, and protection of Oneida children through the
preservation of the family unit, by assisting parents in fulfilling their responsibilities as well as
facilitating the return of Oneida children to the jurisdiction of the Nation, and acknowledging the
customs and traditions of the Nation when raising an Oneida child.
Resolution BC-07-26-17-J provided that the Children’s Code would become effective fifteen (15)
months after the adoption of the Fiscal Year 2018 budget. On October 8, 2017, the General Tribal
Council adopted the Fiscal Year 2018 budget through resolution GTC-10-08-17-A. The Children’s
Code was then set to become effective on January 8, 2019.
Resolution BC-07-26-17-J also provided a process for the implementation of the Children’s Code,
specifically, direction on how the transfer of cases from the jurisdiction of Brown and Outagamie
County to the jurisdiction of the Oneida Family Court shall occur. Resolution BC-07-26-17-J
provided that:
When the Children’s Code becomes effective all new cases in Brown and Outagamie
County shall begin in or transfer to the Oneida Family Court;
Any case in Brown and Outagamie County that has started within the most recent three (3)
months may transfer to the Oneida Family Court; and
All other current cases may remain in Brown and Outagamie County, unless the Nation’s
Indian Child Welfare Department determines the case would be better suited in the Oneida
Family Court or another party motions the Court to transfer jurisdiction.
The Oneida Business Committee then took action through resolution BC-10-24-18-A titled,
“Amending Resolution BC-07-26-17-J to Delay the Implementation of the Children’s Code,” to
Page 1 of 3
Public Packet
34 of 172
amend resolution BC-07-26-17-J to delay the implementation of the Children’s Code until October
1, 2019.
The Oneida Business Committee then adopted resolution BC-10-23-19-B, Authorizing Discretion
Regarding Implementation of Children’s Code, Chapter 708, which set forth an additional
implementation delay regarding the transfer of Children In Need of Protection and Services cases
under the Children’s Code until 161 Agreements with Brown and Outagamie Counties were
approved because the Nation wanted to assure that funding for out-of-home placement was
accessible before cases were transferred.
Resolution BC-10-23-19-B amended the third resolve section of resolution BC-07-26-17-J, as
amended by resolution BC-10-24-18-A, to provide that the following determination has been made
for the transfer of cases from the jurisdiction of Brown and Outagamie County to the jurisdiction
of the Oneida Family Court:
When the Children’s Code becomes effective and the Act 161 Agreements with Brown and
Outagamie Counties are approved, the Indian Child Welfare Department shall either begin
all new cases in Brown and Outagamie County in the Oneida Family Court or shall seek to
transfer all new cases in Brown and Outagamie County to the Oneida Family Court;
Any case in Brown and Outagamie County that has started within the most recent three (3)
months may transfer to the Oneida Family Court; and
All other current cases may remain in Brown and Outagamie County, unless the Nation’s
Indian Child Welfare Department determines the case would be better suited in the Oneida
Family Court or another party motions the Court to transfer jurisdiction.
In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, on March 12, 2020, in accordance with the Emergency
Management and Homeland Security law, Chairman Tehassi Hill signed a “Declaration of Public
Health State of Emergency” regarding COVID-19. [3 O.C. 302.8-1]. This declaration of a Public
Health State of Emergency set into place the necessary authority should action need to be taken
and allows the Nation to seek reimbursement of emergency management actions that may result
in unexpected expenses. This declaration of a Public Health State of Emergency was extended by
the Oneida Business Committee until November 13, 2020, through the adoption of resolutions BC03-28-20-A, BC-05-06-20-A, BC-06-10-20-A, BC-07-08-20-A, BC-08-06-20-A, BC-09-09-20A, and BC-10-08-20-A.
On March 17, 2020, the Oneida Business Committee adopted emergency amendments to the
Emergency Management and Homeland Security law to create and delegate authority to a COVID19 Core Decision Making Team (“COVID-19 Team”). [3 O.C. 302.10]. When a public health
emergency has been declared, the COVID-19 Team has the authority to declare exceptions to the
Nation’s laws, policies, procedures, regulations, or standard operating procedures during the
emergency period which will be of immediate impact for the purposes of protecting the health,
safety, and general welfare of the Nation’s community, members, and employees. [3 O.C. 302.102]. These declarations remain in effect for the duration of the Public Health State of Emergency.
[3 O.C. 302.10-3].
On March 20, 2020, the Nation’s COVID-19 Team issued a “Suspension of Transfer of Cases in
Resolution #BC-07-26-17-J, Adoption of the Children's Code and the Nation's Indian Child
Page 2 of 3

Welfare Act Policy” declaration which amended resolution BC-07-26-17-J regarding the transfer
of cases to the Oneida Family Court based on the COVID-19 pandemic and provided the that the
following determination has been made for the transfer of cases from Brown and Outagamie
County jurisdiction to the jurisdiction of the Oneida Family Court:
When the Children's Code becomes effective all new cases in Brown and Outagamie
County shall begin in or transfer to Oneida Family Court unless such commencement or
transfer would be impracticable under the circumstances of the case as decided by the
Nation's Indian Child Welfare Department and the Nation's Child Welfare attorney.
This resolution provides that due to the uncertain nature of the COVID-19 pandemic, including its
financial constraints on the Nation and potential effect on the Indian Child Welfare Department’s
staffing levels to last beyond the Public Health State of Emergency, the Indian Child Welfare
Department has recommended that the discretion on the transfer of cases provided for in the March
20, 2020, COVID-19 Team declaration be adopted on a permanent basis.
This resolution supersedes all prior resolutions in conflict with the directives set forth in this
resolution, and provides that the Nation’s Indian Child Welfare Department and Child Welfare
attorney shall begin all new Children in Need of Protection and Services cases occurring in Brown
and Outagamie County in the Oneida Family Court or seek the transfer of the case to the Oneida
Family Court under the Children’s Code unless such commencement or transfer would be
impracticable under the circumstances of the case as decided by the Nation's Indian Child Welfare
Department and the Nation's Child Welfare attorney.
Conclusion
Adoption of this resolution would not conflict with any of the Nation’s laws.

Oneida Family Caregiving Study: Understanding Resource Utilization by
Dementia Caregivers in the Oneida Nation of WI
_____________________________________________________________________________
The attached letter of support is being submitted for your review and approval in compliance
with the requirements of BC Resolution #05-08-19-A. The Research Team has been working in
collaboration with the Oneida Community Adivsory Board
(ONCOA) and has now received their initial approval to proceed and need the Oneida Business
he next step in the Research Proposal. The UWMadison team is now in the process of gaining formal Institutional Review Board approval
through UW-Madison.
We are looking forward to participating with the Research Team
Oneida
Helping Oneida Family Caregiving Study: Understanding Resource Utilization by Dementia
. This study is timely and an exciting area of research as
it aims to provide valuable data about the needs of family and friends caring for elder Oneida
Tribal Members with memory loss. The
main goal is to learn about who in Oneida is
helping a person with dementia, and what services these caregivers are using or would like to
be to use to support their family member with memory loss within the Oneida Community. We
are currently aware of a number of resources available to families however the group has
identified that many families do not avail themselves of the resources available. The goal is to
determine how and why; to improve the access and acceptance of these services.
Phase 1 will entail the use of social media, flyers, etc. to invite all adult enrolled members of the
Oneida Nation to complete a brief online survey. The goal is to learn about who in Oneida is
helping people with dementia and what services these caregivers are using or would like to be
able to use. The survey can be completed anonymously. Participants will be eligible for a

monetary drawing if they choose to participate. Phase 2 will involve 10-15 individual interviews
with Oneida Tribal members who are helping an older person with dementia. These
interviewswill be conducted over the telephone or thru video conferencing. The goal is to learn
about how these caregivers learn about services and make decision about which services to use
and when to use them. The study will employ Oneida Tribal members as community researchers
to complete these interviews and an Oneida CAB member as the project consultant/coordinator.
The Oneida Comprehensive Health Division supports the concept and will encourage the
efforts to help to identify individuals from the Oneida Nation to participate. We are very
excited to offer this support to UW-Madison on this project and look forward to your support
through formal approval of the Oneida Helping Oneida Family Caregiving Study:
Understanding Resource Utilization by Dementia Caregivers in the Oneida Nation of WI
Research Study in Partnership with UW-Madison. In accordance with Resolution #05-08-19-A,
the project agrees to assure that all data security and participant confidentiality will be
rigorously guarded through the use of secured electronic storage for all data, restriction of data
access to the research team only and careful deidentification of data prior to analysis.
Informed consents will be obtained from all participants. In addition, offers assurances that all
data will remain under the control of the Oneida Nation of WI. The results of their findings will
be presented both locally and at national conferences and in scientific journals. Individual
participants will not be identifiable and all research output will undergo prior CAB review and
approval.
This project has the potential to make a significant contribution in addressing long-standing
Therefore, the Oneida
Comprehensive Health Division has reviewed and approves of this research study and
recommends the Oneida Business Committee take formal action to approve the request for the
Research study to proceed.

RE:
Recommendations to Extend the Oneida Nation Public Health Emergency Declaration
An infectious illness such as COVID-19 does not follow our jurisdictional boundaries and/or our
reservation boundaries. It is critical for the Oneida Nation to continue to work in tandem with
our local and state public health departments. COVID-19 does not pick and choose who will be
affected nor does it matter where you work, or where you live.
Through our on-going monitoring of the COVID-19 pandemic by public health and other health
officials, the following are highlights from our current situation:
x
There is an Increase in COVID-19 cases within our local counties, the state of Wisconsin,
nationally and globally. Multiple states have imposed additional restrictions to limit the
spread of the disease. Northeastern states are imposing self-isolation requirements on
individuals arriving from states in the South and South west that are severely impacted
at this time.
x
There is Evidence of continued community spread in Brown and Outagamie
Counties and throughout the state of Wisconsin. Data demonstrates that although
positive cases are climbing in all age groups, we note a markable increase in our 20-39
years and 40-59 years age groups.
x
Hospital capacity has been impacted with regional medical centers at or near
capacity.

We have not faced a Global Pandemic in over a century. Some of the steps we undertook to
respond to this global pandemic thus far include the declaration of Public Health Emergency,
Stay Safer at Home orders, Public Health Isolation/Quarantine policy, mandatory masking,
mandatory building safe reopening plans and organizational policies of Mandatory masking and
COVID-19 screening for employees, etc.
Data collection and analysis is an important strategy in our COVID-19 response. We are
constantly learning and adopting recommendations as we learn more every day. Using our
preparedness tools and resources, we will get thru this unprecedented time, together. We have
learned over the past several months that there will be spikes in positive numbers followed by
plateauing of numbers and surges in cases that can overwhelm Health system capacity very
rapidly. Simply put, the data is fluid and the situation will continue to improve and worsen. It
would not be to our benefit to establish a static metric that would define the end of our Public
Health Emergency declaration.
We have reviewed several gating criteria that were recommended by the CDC, the White House
and the WI Governor’s Badger Bounce Back plan. However, the pandemic has continued
unabated and based on the latest expert opinions is likely to continue at least thru 2021 or
later. The data remain elusive at times and changes rapidly as the pandemic evolves. To place
gating criteria for the Oneida nation for discontinuation of a Public Health Emergency that does
not follow jurisdictional boundaries would not be in our best interest.
An end to the Public Health Emergency declaration would have to be based on a consensus of
multiple trends within local/regional jurisdictions, within our state, the United States and the
world.
The benefits of continuing with the Public Health Emergency Declaration at this time include
and are not limited to:
1) Provide a consistent message to our community as we continue to face the risk of
COVID-19 and its impacts to our community’s health, the economy and our wellbeing.
2) The Oneida Nation is afforded the ability to rapidly adapt and implement mitigation
recommendation and strategies when operating during a Public Health Emergency.
3) Oneida Nation is eligible to apply for direct FEMA reimbursement when operating under
a Public Health Emergency (versus requesting assistance thru the state).
The gating criteria recommended by CDC and adopted by the Badger Bounce Back Plan which
was discontinued due to the WI Supreme Court ruling on May 13 are included in the Appendix.

Recommendations:
Based on available information we have today, the Oneida COVID-19 health response team and
Oneida Emergency Management provides the following recommendations:
1. The Oneida Nation extend the Public Health Emergency Declaration through November
30, 2020. Extending the Public Health Emergency will continue to help us save lives,
while safely and securely conducting our Nations’ operations during the pandemic.
3. All departments/areas within the Oneida Nation have a plan for maintaining safety of
continued and or enhanced operations during COVID-19 pandemic to include
prevention strategies to keep both employees and patrons safe.
4. Continued operations to maintain all safe distancing, universal masking/face covering
and sanitation requirements indefinitely throughout the pandemic.
5. Based on current available information our recommendations would remain valid for
the next 3-6 months or longer. Recommendations will continue to change based upon
available data and updates on the COVID-19 pandemic.
6. Continue basic infection prevention measures throughout the Oneida Organization to
protect employees and customers must be included as a part of all operational plans. All
Departments should maintain good hygiene and infection control practices, including:
x
x
x
x
Promote frequent and thorough hand washing, including by providing
employees, customers, and worksite visitors with a place to wash their hands. If
soap and running water are not immediately available, provide alcohol-based
hand rubs containing at least 60% alcohol.
Encourage employees to stay home if they are sick.
Encourage respiratory etiquette, including covering coughs and sneezes.
Provide customers and the public with tissues and trash receptacles.
7. Departments should continue to maintain flexible worksites (e.g., telecommuting) and
flexible work hours (e.g., staggered shifts), to increase the physical distance among
employees and between employees and others if state and local health authorities
recommend the use of social distancing strategies.
8. Discourage employees from using other employees’ phones, desks, offices, or other
work tools and equipment, when possible.
8
Public Packet
57 of 172
9. Maintain regular housekeeping practices, including routine cleaning and disinfecting of
surfaces, equipment, and other elements of the work environment. When choosing
cleaning chemicals, departments should consult information on Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA)-approved disinfectant labels with claims against emerging viral
pathogens. Products with EPA-approved emerging viral pathogens claims are expected
to be effective against SARS-CoV-2 based on data for harder to kill viruses. Follow the
manufacturer’s instructions for use of all cleaning and disinfection products (e.g.,
concentration, application method and contact time, PPE).
10. All employees of the nation based on their job duties have a facial covering or mask
while at work and maintain safe distancing of at least 6 feet from each other.

The Badger bounce back plan used these gating criteria:
WISCONSIN’S GATING CRITERIA
SYMPTOMS:
Downward trajectory of influenza-like illnesses (ILI) reported within a 14-day period
AND
Downward trajectory of COVID-19-like syndromic cases reported within a 14-day period
CASES:
Downward trajectory of positive tests as a percent of total tests within a 14-day period
HOSPITALS:
Treat all patients without crisis care
AND
Robust testing programs in place for at-risk healthcare workers, with decreasing numbers of
infected healthcare workers
These metrics and progress on Core Responsibilities will be evaluated regularly and guide
decisions about when Wisconsin is ready to move from phase to phase. They are based on the
Federal Gating Criteria and Core State Preparedness Responsibilities found in Guidelines for
Opening up America Again that was issued by the White House on April 16, 2020. These metrics
will be applied on a statewide basis as this highly infectious virus knows no county boundaries
and can easily spread from regions with high prevalence to regions with low prevalence.

Statement of Effect
Extension of Declaration of Public Health State of Emergency Until November 13, 2020
Summary
This resolution extends the Nation’s declaration of the Public Health State of Emergency until
November 13, 2020.
Submitted by: Clorissa N. Santiago, Senior Staff Attorney, Legislative Reference Office
Date: October 5, 2020
Analysis by the Legislative Reference Office
The Oneida Business Committee adopted the Emergency Management and Homeland Security
law for the purpose of providing for the development and execution of plans for the protection of
residents, property, and the environment in an emergency or disaster; providing for the direction
of emergency management, response, and recovery on the Reservation, as well as coordinating
with other agencies, victims, businesses, and organizations; establishing the use of the National
Incident Management System (NIMS); and designating authority and responsibilities for public
health preparedness. [3 O.C. 302.1-1].
Under the Emergency Management and Homeland Security law, the Oneida Business Committee
is delegated the responsibility to proclaim or ratify the existence of a public health emergency. [3
O.C. 302.8-1]. A public health emergency means the occurrence or imminent threat of an illness
or health condition which is a quarantinable disease; and which poses a high probability of a large
number of deaths or serious or long-term disability among humans. [3 O.C. 302.3-1(o)]. No
proclamation of an emergency by the Oneida Business Committee may last for longer than thirty
(30) days, unless renewed by the Oneida Business Committee. [3 O.C. 302.8-5].
The federal government has proclaimed a public health emergency related to the spread of the
COVID-19 virus and has identified that the spread of the virus has resulted in large numbers of
individuals becoming ill and high mortality rates, impacts to the stock markets, and businesses.
State governors, including the State of Wisconsin, have declared public health emergencies and
state public health officers have issued orders, for example, closing public schools, limiting public
gatherings, and closing restaurants and bars except for take-out orders.
In accordance with the authority granted to the Oneida Business Committee through the
Emergency Management and Homeland Security law, on March 12, 2020, Chairman Tehassi Hill
signed a “Declaration of Public Health State of Emergency” which sets into place the necessary
authority should action need to be taken, and allows the Oneida Nation to seek reimbursement of
emergency management actions that may result in unexpected expenses. [3 O.C. 302.8-1]. The
Oneida Business Committee has extended this Public Health State of Emergency until October 12,
2020, through the adoption of the following resolutions:
BC-03-28-20-A Extension of March 12th Declaration of Public Health State of Emergency;
Page 1 of 2
Public Packet
62 of 172
BC-05-06-20-A Extension of Declaration of Public Health State of Emergency Until June 11, 2020;
BC-06-10-20-A Extension of Declaration of Public Health State of Emergency Until July 12, 2020;
BC-07-08-20-A Extension of Declaration of Public Health State of Emergency Until August 11,
2020;
BC-08-06-20-A Extension of Declaration of Public Health State of Emergency Until September
11, 2020; and
BC-09-09-20-A Extension of Declaration of Public Health State of Emergency Until October 12,
2020. [3 O.C. 302.8-5].
On March 17, 2020, the Oneida Business Committee adopted emergency amendments to the
Emergency Management and Homeland Security law to create and delegate authority to a COVID19 Core Decision Making Team. [3 O.C. 302.10]. When a public health emergency has been
declared, the COVID-19 Core Decision Making Team has the authority to declare exceptions to
the Nation’s laws, policies, procedures, regulations, or standard operating procedures during the
emergency period which will be of immediate impact for the purposes of protecting the health,
safety, and general welfare of the Nation’s community, members, and employees. [3 O.C. 302.102]. These declarations remain in effect for the duration of the Public Health State of Emergency,
unless identified to be effective for a shorter time period. [3 O.C. 302.10-3].
On March 24, 2020, the Nation’s COVID-19 Core Decision Making Team issued a “Safer at
Home” declaration which prohibits all public gatherings of any number of people and orders all
individuals present within the Oneida Reservation to stay at home or at their place of residence,
with certain exceptions allowed. On April 21, 2020, the COVID-19 Core Decision Making Team
issued an “Updated Safer at Home” declaration which allowed for gaming and golf operations to
resume. Then on May 19, 2020, the COVID-19 Core Decision Making Team issued a “Safer at
Home Declaration, Amendment, Open for Business” which directs that individuals within the
Oneida Reservation should continue to stay at home, businesses can re-open under certain safer
business practices, and social distancing should be practiced by all persons. On June 10, 2020, the
COVID-19 Team issued a “Stay Safer at Home” declaration which lessened the restrictions of the
“Safer at Home Declaration, Amendment, Open for Business” while still providing guidance and
some restrictions. Then on July 17, 2020, the “Safe Re-opening Governmental Offices” declaration
was issued which provides guidance on how buildings will be safely re-opened to the public.
The Emergency Management Director and the Public Health Officer have advised extension of the
Public Health State of Emergency declaration supported by information from the Centers for
Disease Control and the level of spread of COVID-19 throughout the State of Wisconsin,
surrounding states, and the United States. This resolution provides that the Oneida Business
Committee has determined that continuing the Public Health State of Emergency continues to be
necessary.
Through the adoption of this resolution, in accordance with section 302.8-5 of the Emergency
Management and Homeland Security law, the Oneida Business Committee extends the Public
Health State of Emergency declaration until 11:59 p.m. on November 13, 2020.
Conclusion
Adoption of this resolution would not conflict with any of the Nation’s laws.

Vac/Per Accrual Payout & Return to work
I spoke with an employee today regarding the payouts that were issued on 9/30 pursuant to resolution
BC‐08‐12‐20‐H. My understanding is that HRD paid out all employees in layoff/furlough status as of
September 16. This employee is concerned because she was paid out her accrued time, but has since
been called back to work and will return on 10/12. Her concern is that if she needs to be off of work
(COVID‐19 related or not), she now has no banked time.
I understand that HRD had to pick a date to start from for the payouts and that some employees would
end up in this position. At the same time, I think the employees concern is valid and that a solution
could be developed to address it.
The COVID‐19 Time Off SOP allows for COVID‐19 related time off to be covered by Donation of hours. In
prior iterations of this SOP, specifically the version that was in place when employees were sent home as
“non‐essential” back in March, going into a negative balance was allowed. Is this something that could
be implemented again to provide support to the employees who are returning with no banked time for
any absence, COVID‐19 related or not?
Also, is there a resource for employees who need donated hours? I recall a discussion about HRD having
a listing of individuals who are willing to donate hours; that this listing would be available to an
employee that is in need. Did that get implemented? It may be a partial solution for those employees
with no banked time that have COVID‐19 related absences since donation of hours is allowed for in the
SOP. Still, it leaves the non‐COVID‐19 related absences unaddressed.
If I add this to next week’s agenda for discussion, would HRD be ready with recommendation?
Please advise. Thanks!
Note - I spoke with Geraldine on 10/8 and she confirmed that HRD would be ready to discuss at the
10/14 BC meeting.

Vacation and Personal Time
October 9, 2020
BC Resolution 8‐12‐20‐H required that employees on furlough and layoff be paid out their remaining
vacation and personal time. The organization stopped payments of vacation and personal time when an
employee was recalled. However, a cut off date had to be established after which payouts could not be
stopped. That cutoff date was Sept. 16th, 2020.
However, employees continue to be recalled after September 16, and therefore may have zero vacation
and personal hours accrued when they return to work. The ongoing COIVD‐19 pandemic and current
spike in cases is causing employees with little or no vacation time to miss work. The COVID‐19 Time Off
SOP states that may need to be off for any of the following:
Testing positive for COVID‐19
Having symptoms of COVID‐19 or Acute Respiratory Illness
Being notified by a public health official that they have been exposed and need to quarantine
Caring for someone who is ill
Not having an alternative to childcare for children (i.e. school, daycare, head start, etc.)
Being at risk or living with at‐risk household members
o Older adults
o Serious chronic health conditions such as heart or lung disease, diabetes, etc.
Being unable to return from travel due to travel bans
Supervisors must be prepared to help guide employees with available options when COVID‐19 impacts
their lives. The following are currently in place and available options for employees to be off work due to
the pandemic:
1.
2.
3.
4.
Vacation and personal time to the extent it is accrued (even if on probation)
Time off without pay
Donation of Hours (a doctor’s note is required)
Leave of Absence
At the beginning of the pandemic, employees were permitted to use more vacation and personal time
than they had accrued (allowing the balance to go negative). The organization is looking at allowing this
option again, and if approved, it will be communicated.
Business Unit leaders may also consider approving employees to work from home. Not all jobs can be
done from home, but to the extent that it is possible, supervisors may approve an employee to
telecommute: (1) with the area manager’s approval, and (2) if the Telecommuting SOP is followed.
Questions may be sent to HRD_General@oneidanation.org or call 920‐490‐3699.

AGENDA ITEM OCT-28-2020
Shekoli!.. I wanted to keep this topic of building and wellness facility or creating one with or use a
current building we already have; My goal is to keep this items on future BC agendas until we build one.
Congratulations on the new term! I know your busy and I appreciate your time.
Reference: I’m looking at the past minutes of the GTC January 16, 2018 (as reference only); failed
amendment and I want to pick back up where this was left off by Cathy L. Metoxen’s amendment to
create a drug and alcohol wellness center.
I would like to know where we are at with building this much needed facility, we are losing a lot of
people to drugs and alcohol and when people need immediate help they should be able to get
immediate detoxification treatment and residential treatment center here at home.
We shouldn’t have to separate families or send our people away to another state or town to get the
help they need here at home.
1. What’s the status on the creation of a drug and alcohol wellness center detox and residential
treatment facility?
a. We already have the nursing staff and doctors, we have the treatment modalities
already.
2. The Tribal Law and Order Act of 2010 (Public Law 111‐211) (“TLOA”) amends the Indian Alcohol
and Substance Abuse Prevention and Treatment Act of 1986 (Public Law 99‐570) (“the Act”)‐old
information from 2010
3. BC Resolution # 05‐10‐17‐C Tribal Action Plan‐current status since 2017 or 2010 when these
Plans first arrived. Or CAP in the past.
4. what’s the future plan to build a facility?
One person lost is one to many. This topic was on an BC agenda items prior to this year’s Tribal election
so I waited for the newly elected BC so we can stay focused and have a treatment facility built during
this term my goal is to complete this center by terms end. The only concern I have is what are the plans
to start building? I respectfully request this current 2020 newly elected BC have oversite and make this
facility a propriety and follow up on this on this progress every 90 days to until this facility is built.
Deaths of overdoses for us are the highest percentage see information link below.

Hi Shannon,
You can see the annual information for opioid overdoses specifically here, by hovering over Brown or
Outagamie county: https://www.dhs.wisconsin.gov/opioids/deaths‐county.htm

If you click on the county, you filter the rest of the dashboard to that county and can see at the very
bottom the monthly count. The below screenshot is filtered to Brown county.

We don’t have county‐level death data for other drug overdoses at this point, but you can find regional
estimates here: https://www.dhs.wisconsin.gov/aoda/drug‐overdose‐deaths.htm
We are also working on a dashboard showing stimulant overdoses that should come out early next year.
Thanks,
Lynne
